    About this ebook

    When two skeletons are discovered from Lamentation Tarn, talented detective Mike Nash and his team have little evidence with which to work, until a surprising discovery prompts them to contact law enforcement agencies in Eastern Europe. A joint task force is formed to uncover a criminal network involved in prostitution, drugs, and human trafficking, but Nash's preoccupation with internal politics, as well as with an attractive Russian detective, proves to be a distraction. Finally, a young victim escapes the gang's clutches, providing Nash with much needed evidence. A search of the neighboring tarn yields further corpses and reveals an even more heinous crime. Two more bloody encounters must occur before the criminals are brought to bitter justice.

      This really isn't as bad as some of my fellow reviewers are making out; but it's not as brilliant as others are saying, either.Kitson has got hold of a gripping starting point, and he does spin a good yarn. As the police procedural progresses, this is a real page-turner: you do want to know what happens next. True, the investigation does descend into a rather silly James Bond-style shoot-em-up towards the end, but I think Kitson does it well enough.However ... let's be honest, and admit that Kitson just can't do] jokes - heavy handed at best] romance - just embarrassing] dialogue - partially solved by having a fair number of foreign characters, whose weird English can thus be explained away (though I'm not sure this is entirely valid!)Making allowances for the above, there are things to enjoy here
